My father, his friend and I walked the back line of numerous lots, probably that one also. They would offer $100.00 up to $300.00 for the 5 or 6 lost and unwanted tradeins taking up valuable space. These would be repaired, detailed and sold for around $100.00 ea. My high school friends would come over and we'd race them around my back yard. Those were the days of Dick Lane's Destruction Derby and Lew's Garage, $69.95 most 6's, $89.95 most 8's. In honor of my 53 Henny Jr, I am acknowledging the bus bench.
PS
I still have the 16" hubcaps from the 38 Cad dad gave me for my 13th birthday Oct. 1958.
Fun memories, Tom
